Podcasts about aging well

Most people assume that if their annual physical comes back normal, they are healthy. But what if traditional lab work misses important clues about metabolic health, hormone function, inflammation, and biological aging?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong speaks with Michael Zaghikian, Co-Founder and Clinical Strategist at Evolve Anti-Aging & Wellness, about the growing field of biological optimization and personalized medicine. They explore how advanced diagnostics may help identify hidden drivers of fatigue, weight gain, poor recovery, and declining vitality, while discussing the opportunities and limitations of hormone optimization, peptide therapies, GLP-1 medications, and other emerging approaches to longevity. This conversation offers a practical look at how data-driven health strategies may help people improve both healthspan and quality of life as they age.Learn more at https://evolveantiaging.comPlease, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

For decades, psychedelics were associated primarily with youth culture, countercultural movements, and experimental exploration. Today, however, a growing number of older adults are revisiting—or discovering for the first time—the potential of psychedelics as tools for healing, personal growth, meaning-making, and emotional well-being.In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong speaks with journalist and author Abbie Rosner, one of the few writers dedicated to exploring the intersection of psychedelics and aging. Her forthcoming book, Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging, examines how baby boomers and older adults are challenging traditional narratives of aging through intentional psychedelic use and how these experiences may influence mental health, purpose, spirituality, and quality of life in later years.Drawing from years of reporting for major publications and conversations with older adults exploring psychedelics and cannabis, Abbie discusses why interest in psychedelics is growing among older populations, what the current research suggests, and the ethical, practical, and emotional questions that accompany this emerging movement. Together, they explore whether aging can be viewed not as a period of inevitable decline, but as a season of continued growth, exploration, wisdom, and transformation.Learn more at https://www.abbierosner.com/BUY Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging at https://www.innertraditions.com/search/Abbie+RosnerFind help at https://healingadvocacyfund.org/ andhttps://www.spiritpharmacist.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Leucine is often celebrated as one of the most important nutrients for healthy aging. As a key amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis, leucine helps preserve strength, mobility, and independence — all critical factors for aging well.But emerging longevity research suggests the story may be more complicated.In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and cohost Corbin Bruton explore the “double-edged sword” of leucine. While leucine supports muscle maintenance and mitochondrial energy production, it also strongly activates the mTOR pathway — a biological growth signal associated with accelerated aging and reduced lifespan in some animal studies when chronically overstimulated.So how do we reconcile these competing ideas? Is leucine helping us age better, or merely helping us age stronger? And is there a difference?Together, they unpack the complex relationship between muscle, metabolism, longevity science, mitochondrial function, exercise, and nutritional balance — exploring what it means to pursue not just longer life, but wiser aging.Article Referenced:University of Cologne.

In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong is joined by Thomas Attig, one of the most influential voices in modern grief studies. An applied philosopher, educator, and internationally recognized grief counselor, Tom has spent decades helping mourners, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and counselors better understand the grieving process. He is the author of several landmark books on bereavement, including How We Grieve: Relearning the World, The Heart of Grief, Catching Your Breath in Grief, and his latest collection, Seeking Wisdom in Death's Shadows: Collected Writings on How We Grieve.Drawing on a lifetime of listening, reflection, teaching, and service, Tom challenges the common assumption that grief is simply something we endure until it fades. Instead, he describes grief as a process of "relearning the world"—learning how to live, love, and find meaning in a reality forever changed by loss.Together, Jeff and Tom explore why the death of a loved one can feel as though it has taken our breath away, how grief affects our relationship with ourselves and others, the difference between problems and mysteries, and why wisdom may be just as important as evidence in caring for those who mourn. They also discuss resilience, healing, continuing bonds with loved ones, and the lessons grief can teach us about aging well, living fully, and cherishing what matters most.Learn more at https://griefsheart.comBUY Seeking Wisdom in Death's Shadows and save using the Promo Code AUFLY310 at: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/seeking-wisdom-in-deaths-shadows-9780197776094?cc=us&lang=en&Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Modern food culture gives us access to almost anything at any time of year. But just because we can eat strawberries in winter or ultra-processed foods every season does not mean our biology evolved for it.Building off a recent conversation with Dr. John Douillard (Episode 403) that include the benefits of seasonal eating and a previous Episode 404 on organ meats as a “multivitamin for carnivores,” Dr. Jeff Armstrong and cohost Corbin Bruton explore the forgotten wisdom of ancestral nutrition. Together, they discuss how humans historically ate according to seasonal rhythms, local environments, and periods of abundance and scarcity — and how the Standard American Diet has largely disconnected us from those natural patterns.The conversation examines how seasonal eating may influence metabolism, inflammation, gut health, circadian biology, and longevity while also exploring practical ways modern people can reconnect with more natural and nutrient-dense approaches to food.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores a recent article and study suggesting that aging is not simply a story of decline, but often includes measurable improvement in both cognitive and physical health. He highlights how a person's view of aging–particularly optimism–can significantly shape their experience of growing older. He then connects this insight to Scripture, showing how believers are called to flourish, bear fruit in every season of life, and steward their lives for God's glory even into old age.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, chronic inflammation, and many age-related diseases may appear unrelated on the surface — but what if they share a common biological root?In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with research engineer, longevity advocate, and MyVitalC founder Chris Burres to explore the role of oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial function in the aging process.Chris explains how the body's “cellular power plants” can shift from energy producers to contributors to accelerated aging, why not all antioxidants work the same, and how emerging research into cellular resilience may shape the future of healthspan and longevity. Together, they discuss fatigue, recovery, cognition, chronic disease, wellness culture, and the importance of separating promising science from hype in the rapidly growing longevity marketplace.Learn more at https://www.myvitalc.com/agingwellPlease, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

I'm Not Aging Well! by Pei-Lan Ku

What if aging is not a slow unraveling—but an upward movement into deeper wholeness? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton explore the idea of “aging as ascension rather than decline.” Drawing on the SPIES model (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social fitness), they reframe the second half of life as a period of integration, purpose, and expanding awareness.The conversation weaves together modern concepts like healthspan and joyspan with the theological and philosophical insights of thinkers like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and C.S. Lewis. From the idea of the “Cosmic Christ” to the daily practices that cultivate resilience and meaning, this episode challenges the dominant narrative of aging and offers a vision of growth that is both grounded and transcendent.If you've ever wondered whether your later years can be your most meaningful, this episode provides both a framework and a path forward.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Stress is often treated as a feeling, but what if it is also a measurable biological force shaping disease, pain, inflammation, and the aging process itself? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, rheumatologist and Inmedix CEO Dr. Andrew Holman joins Dr Armstrong to explore the emerging science of stress biology and the autonomic nervous system.Drawing from more than 25 years in rheumatology and decades of research into autoimmune disease, Dr. Holman explains why stress may be the “missing link” in chronic illness and why understanding the body's stress response could transform how we approach treatment, recovery, and aging well. The conversation explores heart rate variability, vagal tone, inflammation, chronic pain, precision medicine, and the growing challenge of separating evidence-based health technology from wellness hype in the modern longevity marketplace.Learn more at https://inmedix.com/aboutPlease, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

In this episode of Aging Well with VNA, host Kersten Rettig welcomes back retired cardiologist Dr. Melissa Curry for an important and informative conversation about atrial fibrillation (AFib)—a common heart rhythm disorder affecting millions, with nearly 40% of people experiencing it at some point in their lives.Together, they break down what AFib is, why your heartbeat matters more than you might think, and how this condition can impact overall health. While AFib is not typically life-threatening, it can increase the risk of stroke and cause uncomfortable symptoms that affect quality of life. Dr. Curry shares insight into key risk factors—including age, genetics, obesity, high blood pressure, alcohol use, and sleep apnea—and discusses the latest approaches to treatment and management. Most importantly, she offers reassurance that there is hope: with early detection, proper care, and lifestyle changes, AFib can be effectively managed. Whether you're concerned about your own heart health or caring for a loved one, this episode provides practical, reassuring guidance to help you better understand AFib—and take steps toward living well.Learn more about AFib at https://www.stopafib.org/

The Anti-Hype Beauty Episode: Good Housekeeping's April Franzino on Testing, Trust, and the Aging Well Core Promise to the Listener The Not Old Better Show Good Housekeeping Good Better Best Interview Series Beauty advice has moved from the department store counter to the magazine page to the endless scroll. That shift matters, especially for adults 60+. Today, consumers are trying to make sense of sunscreens, retinol, dark spot correctors, fragrance, skin-tightening products, "anti-aging" claims, and social media recommendations that often sound more certain than the evidence allows. On this episode of The Not Old Better Show, I speak with April Franzino, Senior Beauty and Style Director at Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, and Prevention. April brings the perspective of a journalist, editor, product tester, and consumer guide. We talk about the Good Housekeeping Beauty Awards, the role of Beauty Lab testing, why sunscreen remains central to skin care, and how readers can separate practical guidance from polished salesmanship. For me, the larger question is trust. Who has earned it? What has been tested? What should we question before spending money? Experience matters. Longevity matters. And in beauty, as in health journalism, confidence should never outrun evidence.

What if your diagnosis wasn't the beginning of the end — but the beginning of everything? Eight years ago, Bettina Gordon-Wayne was handed a breast cancer diagnosis on a beautiful spring day in Washington, D.C. She had a four-year-old at home, a healthy lifestyle, and zero warning signs. Today, she is eight years cancer-free and biologically 12 years younger than her chronological age. And she has the data to prove it. Bettina spent 30 years as an international journalist interviewing world leaders, billionaires, and global experts. She was always the one asking the questions — until life gave her a story she couldn't cover from a distance. So she turned her investigative rigor toward the science of longevity, logged thousands of hours of research, and rebuilt her health from the inside out. Her TEDx talk "Aging Well, Aging in Reverse" surpassed 100,000 views. Her book The Joy of Later Motherhood sparked a global conversation. And her program, Younger With Age, is helping high-achieving midlife women do exactly what she did — reverse their biological age with data that proves it. In this episode, Dr. Anna and Bettina cover: Why biological age matters far more than the candles on your birthday cake How Bettina conceived naturally at 43 after a year of failed attempts — and what changed The mindset shift that separates women who age slowly from women who don't Why healthy living didn't prevent cancer — and how it saved her life anyway The unsexy, free anti-aging strategy that outperforms every biohack How to become a "beauty hunter" and lower cortisol through intentional joy The two words to say to anyone who tells you your best years are behind you Memorable Quotes: We can have true agency over the way we age. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne We can truly get younger with age.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne Get out of the victimhood and become defiant.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne The goal is not just to get older. The goal is to create a life that you are excited to live. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne If anybody tells you that you're too old, too gray, that your ship has sailed, look them straight in the eye and tell them two words: Watch me.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "For every day God gives us, let it be as healthy, vital, and purposeful as possible." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Health shows vitality." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Our body is the best pharmacy in the world." — Dr. Anna Cabeca   Take Bettina's free biological age quiz at bettinagordon.com/quiz and learn more about the Younger With Age program at bettinagordon.com/program.   Key Timestamps: 00:00 — Dr. Anna opens: "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit" — why renovation and repair are the foundation of longevity 02:15 — Introducing Bettina: from international journalist to first-time mom at 44 to breast cancer survivor to 12 years biologically younger 04:00 — Can we actually reverse biological age in our 50s and 60s?

What if much of the pain, stiffness, and physical decline we associate with aging is not inevitable? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong's guest is posture expert and author Esther Gokhale, founder of the Gokhale Method and author of 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back. Drawing from decades of research into traditional cultures where older adults remain active, mobile, and largely free from chronic back pain, Esther explains how posture shapes everything from spinal health and balance to independence and longevity.Together, they explore why modern movement habits may be accelerating physical decline, how posture affects fall risk and joint health, and whether structural changes in the body are possible later in life. Esther also shares practical insights listeners can begin applying immediately to move with greater comfort, resilience, and confidence as they age.Learn more at https://gokhalemethod.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

What if the way you're aging has more to do with your metabolic health than your age itself? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with longevity physician Dr. Jennifer Timmons to discuss the powerful connection between insulin resistance, hormone health, disease prevention, and aging well. Dr. Timmons shares how her experience in traditional primary care led her to pursue advanced training in functional medicine, precision medicine, and longevity medicine. Together, we discuss what it really means to optimize health as we age, why insulin resistance accelerates many age-related conditions, and how women can navigate menopause with a long-term health strategy in mind. We also explore the growing interest in peptide therapies, where they may fit into a comprehensive health plan, and the foundational lifestyle habits that matter far more than the latest longevity trends. If you're interested in protecting your metabolic health, maintaining vitality as you age, and increasing your healthspan—not just your lifespan—this episode is for you. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Why insulin resistance may accelerate the aging process The difference between lifespan and healthspan Menopause as a long-term metabolic and cardiovascular transition The role of muscle mass in healthy aging How longevity medicine differs from traditional healthcare Preventive testing and early disease detection Peptide therapies: benefits, limitations, and considerations Common mistakes people make when pursuing longevity Why consistency often beats biohacking Practical steps women can take today to age well FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM DR.

What if the greatest threat to aging well isn't decline—but stagnation?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong explores a powerful metaphor from C. S. Lewis that challenges us to confront a difficult truth: we cannot remain who we are and still become who we are meant to be.Drawing from a Carpe Momento reflection, this conversation introduces the SPIES framework—Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social wellness—as a model for true integration. Rather than chasing fame, optimization, or surface-level success, this episode reframes aging well as the courageous act of becoming whole.Because the real danger isn't being an “ordinary egg”—it's never hatching at all.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

There's a difference between how long you live and how well you live. And watching someone you love lose their health changes everything about how you see that gap. I am reposting this episode of Your Journey to Joy Podcast.  I get  personal. I recorded this one on my dad's 92nd birthday — and if you've ever watched a parent's health decline, you know exactly the mix of emotions that comes with that.

As America's aging population grows, so does a quieter epidemic: loneliness. While medications are often the first response to depression and anxiety in older adults, many experts are asking whether the deeper issue is not simply chemistry — but disconnection.In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton sit down with Dr. Elisa Gil-Pires, Medical Director at Charles E. Smith Life Communities, to explore the relationship between social connection, mental health, and aging well. Drawing from her experience caring for more than 1,100 older adults, Dr. Gil-Pires discusses the overprescription of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications in seniors, the transformative effects of community living, and why meaningful relationships may be one of the most powerful interventions available for healthy aging.Together, they examine loneliness as a public health issue, the mental health challenges facing Baby Boomers entering later life, and how communities, movement, purpose, and human connection can dramatically improve emotional wellbeing.This conversation offers a timely and deeply practical look at what older adults truly need to flourish — and why aging well is never meant to happen in isolation.Learn more at https://www.smithlifecommunities.org/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton critically examine the six foundational exercises recommended by Dane Miller of Garage Strength (https://youtu.be/4KNi3a2OEUI?si=FIpIEa2P_HH9zNzi).These movements are designed to build strength, power, and athletic performance—but how well do they translate to the goals of longevity and aging well?Dr. Armstrong and Corbin break down each of the “Big Six” exercises, exploring their benefits, limitations, and real-world applicability for the general population. They discuss where these movements align with evidence-based principles for maintaining muscle mass, mobility, and resilience—and where modifications or alternative approaches may better serve those focused on long-term health rather than peak performance.This episode challenges listeners to think more critically about exercise selection and whether training like an athlete is truly the best path to building a body that lasts.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Join us as Jacquelyn Stephens, PhD, the Senior ResearchAssociate at Mather, shares insights on how cultivating positive emotions through “savoring” can boost resilience,social health, and longevity. Discover practical strategies to enhance your well-being and thrive at every stage of life.About Dr. Jacquelyn Stephens is a developmental-health psychologist who conducts research on factors that promote happier and healthier aging. Her research focuses on predictors of well-being across the lifespan, with an emphasis on the protective role of positive emotion in times of stress and adversity. Her research at Mather Institute has focused on how savoring the moment, a form of positive emotion regulation, can contribute to better well-being in older adults. She also evaluates internal Mather programsand initiatives. Prior to Mather, Dr. Stephens was a Postdoctoral ResearchFellow at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. She earned her PhD in Human Development and Social Policy from Northwestern University in 2022.Key Takeaways Positive emotions help us bounce back from stress, overcome adversity, bond with others, and spark creativity. Positive emotions are contagious. Sharing a positiveexperience with another person amplifies the joy and creates a deeper bond,Savoring is noticing something positive happening and amplifying it. Instead of letting something positive pass by, we notice and acknowledge it. Bask in the moment.Savoring has three different time orientations – reminiscing: present moment, and forward thinking/anticipatory . Older adults are good at being attuned to positive things in their environment and tend to be better at savoring in the moment than other generations. When we create a repertoire of positive experiences, we are more likely to reach out to other people and form reciprocal relationships to lift each other up.People feel better when they focus on small moments of joy every day. The goal is not to surround yourself with constant positivity, but to develop the tools and resilience needed to create a life of happiness, well-being, and meaning despite life's inevitable difficulties.Visit Mather Institute for reports on aging and well-being.For exclusive access to the Mather research study onsavoring ,visit: Within- and Between-Person Effects of Savoring Ability and Well-Being in Older Adults: A Longitudinal Study

As cannabis policy and science evolve, so too does the conversation around how it fits into modern medicine—especially for older adults. In this episode, I'm joined by addiction specialist and Harvard Medical School instructor Peter Grinspoon to discuss his book Aging Well with Cannabis: Feel Better, Sleep Better and Live Better with Marijuana and CBD. With cannabis now legalized in much of the United States, many older adults are exploring it as an alternative or complement to traditional pharmaceuticals for issues like chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety. Dr. Grinspoon brings a medical, evidence-based lens to a rapidly changing landscape—one shaped by science, policy, and patient experience. This conversation explores aging, wellness, risk, benefit, and what responsible cannabis use looks like in real clinical practice.

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.
